Hi I am just wondering if this problem was solved as I have a similar problem

when I try this

# mailx -s "testzzz" "root@sys1"
test testz
EOT
# UX:mail: ERROR: Can't send to !cro_isp1!root (root@sys1)
UX:mail: ERROR: Return to root

the email error returned is this

From postmaster Fri Mar 25 10:16 GMT 2011
To: root@sys2
Date: Fri Mar 25 10:16:12 GMT 2011
Original-Date: Fri Mar 25 10:16 GMT 2011
Original-Subject: testzzz
Not-Delivered-To: due to 11 Transfer Failure
ORIGINAL MESSAGE ATTACHED
(mail: Error # 22 'Surrogate command failed', rc = 11)
En-Route-To: !sys1!root
======= Surrogate command =======
:/usr/bin/uux -aroot - sys1!rmail (root)
==== Start of stdout ===
==== Start of stderr ===
:bad system name: sys1
:uux failed ( 11 )
En-Route-To: !sys1!root
Content-Length: 122

If I do dthe same command from the local system but include the system name

mailx -s "testzzz" "tst@sys2"
tteesstt zz1017
EOT

This works

I am pretty sure mail to other systems has never worked on these boxes but would like to get it workling to set up some mail alerts

There is not etc aliases file on these systems but the remote sytem is in the hosts file
This is the unix system detail if it helps
Welcome to the NCR MP-RAS SVR4 UNIX System
UNIX System V Release 4.0
uname -a
sys2 sys2 4.0 3.0 3487/3488 Pentium III(TM)-ISA/PCI

Thanks in advance for any help

Ncr UNIX

let me know to create a new partition on ncr unix with vxfs filesystem

LEARN ABOUT BSD

uusend

UUSEND(1C)																UUSEND(1C)

NAME

       uusend - send a file to a remote host

SYNOPSIS

       uusend [ -m mode ] sourcefile sys1!sys2!..!remotefile

DESCRIPTION

       Uusend  sends a file to a given location on a remote system.  The system need not be directly connected to the local system, but a chain of
       uucp(1) links needs to connect the two systems.

       If the -m option is specified, the mode of the file on the remote end will be taken from the octal number given.  Otherwise,  the  mode	of
       the input file will be used.

       The sourcefile can be ``-'', meaning to use the standard input.	Both of these options are primarily intended for internal use of uusend.

       The remotefile can include the ~userid syntax.

DIAGNOSTICS

       If anything goes wrong any further away than the first system down the line, you will never hear about it.

SEE ALSO

       uux(1), uucp(1), uuencode(1)

BUGS

       This command should not exist, since uucp should handle it.

       All systems along the line must have the uusend command available and allow remote execution of it.

       Some uucp systems have a bug where binary files cannot be the input to a uux command.  If this bug exists in any system along the line, the
       file will show up severly munged.
